Metaheuristic Technique for Dynamic and Energy Efficient Routing (METDEER) in MANET

Abstract

The Metaheuristic Technique in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an experiment based model for improving lifetime of the MANET. This contribution proposes a Balanced Network Monitoring and Routing-Based on Ant Colony Optimization Technique (BNMR-ACOT) that enhances the lifetime of the network by providing a balanced selection of nodes during the routing process. Experiments were conducted with various parameters – packet delivery ratio, energy consumption of node and total overhead were compared with existing models with BNMR, which exhibits two times better route selection levels and twenty times faster route selection times. Node usage levels and randomization levels in the path selection component were observed to exhibit effective performances.
